That was my first thought, but kind of a jump from sub metering to net metering.

You can charge the tenant for the power they use, at the utility's cost. You can not profit from it.

You cannot even do that in MA or a variety of other states and cities. Read the MA interpretation letter posted earlier.

And as much as CA seems to be hooked on regulations - probably not allowed there either:happyyes:

Of course it's allowed. What would be the point of sub-metering if you couldn't?

I had no idea state laws differed so greatly. Here in NYC, not only can you sub-meter tenants, its a local law for all large buildings to have their residential and commercial tenants sub-metered by the year 2025. I believe it is part of their green initiative because they believe that tenants that have to pay for their own electricity (rather than it being rent inclusive) will be more inclined to use less of it.

OK you asked - how about to keep track of what a sub-unit uses for any reason imaginable. For an industrial plant that may be paying the utility a single bill but accounting wise we can keep track of how much energy is used by different areas of the plant. Even where it is not allowed to sell energy it is not illegal to monitor that energy.

Not buying it. Sounds like Big Brother to me. More work than necessary. Go to your room.

Here is a link to the basics of California sub metering with a link to the actual laws if anyone cares. So there is a bunch of electoral votes for the pro sub metering side
